SELECTION  OF  COLORS 


*■■1 — OL!R  home,  finished  with  a good  Paint,  should  not  need  repainting  for  a period  of  years; 
W 7 therefore,  next  to  your  decision  to  use  quality  products,  the  selection  of  colors  is  the 
most  important  of  your  decorative  problems.  Since  the  colors  you  select  will  prove 
to  be  either  a constant  pleasure  or  displeasure  for  a number  of  years,  care  should  be  taken  to 
choose  the  most  pleasing  combinations  possible. 

The  architecture,  location,  surroundings,  size  and  style  of  construction  of  your  home 
should  all  be  taken  into  consideration  when  you  decide  on  your  exterior  color  combinations. 


For  interior  finishing,  the  furnishings,  woodwork  and  size  of  each  room  should  be  carefully 
considered,  together  with  the  use  to  which  the  room  is  to  be  put. 

While  much  has  been  written  on  the  subject  of  color  selection,  we  believe  that  no  hard 
and  fast  rule  should  be  followed,  as  the  details  must  be  worked  out  according  to  individual 
requirements  and  taste.

HOW  TO  APPLY  AN  EXTERIOR  PAINT 


" HERE  are  a few  general  rules  which  should  be  practised  for  exterior  painting. 
d ^ Never  allow  Paint  to  be  applied  to  a surface  where  any  dampness  exists.  The 
surface  to  be  painted  should  be  absolutely  dry,  and  especially  on  new  buildings  care 
must  be  taken  that  the  plaster  is  thoroughly  dried  out.  Dampness  in  the  material  painted  is 
the  cause  of  most  Paint  defects,  because  it  prevents  the  proper  amalgamation  of  the  Paint 
film  with  the  surface.  As  a result — the  Paint  will  peel. 


Always  see  to  it  that  the  Paint  is  thoroughly  brushed  into  the  surface,  not  merely  flowed 
allow  three  or  more  days  between  each  coat  for  drying. 


When  directions  are  followed  and  quality  Paint  is  employed,  a home  owner  may  be 
satisfied  that  his  property  will  have  absolute  protection  from  all  variations  and  extremes  of 
atmosphere  or  temperature.

REASONS  FOR  PAINTING 


AINTS.  Stains,  Varnishes  and  Enamels  were  originally  used  to  beautify  the  surfaces 
on  which  they  w'ere  applied,  instead  of  to  protect  these  surfaces  from  the  destruc- 
tive effect  of  time  and  the  elements. 


Ages  before  the  days  of  Pompeii,  the  ancients  realized  that  certain  oils  and  pigments 
produced  finishes  which  were  of  a protective  nature.  The  fact  that  these  pigments  sometimes 
possessed  bright  colors  led  to  the  use  of  Paint  to  "BEAUTIFY"  as  well  as  to  preserve.  As  a 
result  of  research  in  recent  years,  Paint  ingredients  have  been  discovered,  improved,  and 
perfected.  Now'  the  property  owner  who  wishes  to  preserve  his  home  with  the  use  of  good 
materials  may  look  toward  an  increase  in  the  attractiveness  and  a decrease  in  the  up-keep 
expense. 

As  a man  s clothes  will  speak  for  or  against  him,  so  will  the  appearance  of  his 
property  be  an  index  to  his  character. 


MONARCH  PAINT  100%  PURE  WILL  GIVE  YOUR  HOME  A REFINED  APPEARANCE.

PURE  PAINT  A METALLIC  COATING 


~ J f DEPENDABLE  exterior  Paint  forms  a very  thin  coating  of  pure  metal  on  the  outside 
of  your  home.  The  composition  of  such  a Paint  should  be  Pure  Lead.  Pure  Zinc 
•*-» Pure  Linseed  Oil,  Chemically  Pure  Colors  and  Turpentine  Drier.  These  should  be 
machine  mixed  and  ground  in  correct  proportions.  It  is  apparent  that  modern  high-powered 
machinery  will  so  incorporate  each  particle  of  pigment  with  the  oil  that  there  can  be  no  com- 
parison as  to  which  is  the  better  Paint — machine  mixed  Paint  or  that  stirred  by  hand  with  a 
paddle. 


An  absolutely  pure  Paint,  manufactured  by  a concern  with  a reputation  for  fairness  in 
quality  and  service  based  on  years  of  producing  Paints  and  finishes  which  have  given  the 
most  satisfaction,  will  pass  the  real  test  of  Paint  value.  Such  a Paint  will  possess  maximum 
ability  to  give  satisfaction.  It  will  spread  smoother,  cover  more  surface,  wear  longer  and 
look  better  than  any  Paint  which  contains  inert  materials  or  adulterants,  no  matter  how  small 
may  be  the  percentage  of  such  materials  used.

HOW  TO  SELECT  A PAINT  OR  FINISH 

DO  not  make  the  mistake  of  the  inexperienced  buyer  who  goes  to  any  Paint  Store  and 
purchases  the  cheapest  possible  Paint,  not  realizing  until  too  late  that  cheap  adulter- 
ated Paints  are  most  expensive  in  the  long  run.  If  you  have  the  work  done  by  con- 
tract. do  not  let  the  painter  use  any  kind  of  Paint.  Insist  in  both  cases  on  getting  the  best 
possible  Paint  or  finish  that  can  be  procured  from  a responsible  dealer,  and  you  will  generally 
receive  full  value  for  your  money. 

Use  only  Paints  of  a standard  responsible  make,  and  you  will  thus  be  assured  of  getting 
real  Paint  service. 

There  is  no  economy  more  false  than  the  attempt  to  save  on  the  first  cost  of  the  Paint  or 
finish  used  on  your  home.  Poor  quality  means  continual  expense,  continual  annoyance,  and 
what  is  more  important,  inefficient  protection. 

The  service  given  by  a product  invariably  reflects  the  motives  and  integrity 
of  its  producers.

COLORS  FOR  THE  EXTERIOR 


HEN  selecting  exterior  colors  it  is  a safe  rule  in  most  instances  to  use  a combination 
of  shades  of  the  same  colors,  such  as  light  and  dark  browns,  greens,  buffs,  and  grays, 
taking  into  consideration  the  natural  blending  of  the  surroundings  and  the  grounds. 


Also  in  selecting  colors  for  the  exterior  of  the  home,  it  is  well  to  choose  combinations 
that  will  subdue  the  unbalanced  effect  that  porches,  steps,  ornaments  and  decorations  give 
when  they  are  of  a radically  different  shade  from  that  of  the  house  itself. 

A large  house  looks  best,  as  a rule,  in  dark  colors;  while  a small  house  should  be  painted 
with  light  colors.  A dark  trim  on  a small  house  will  make  it  look  small,  while  a light  trim 
will  work  the  opposite  way.  A light  lower  part  and  dark  upper  part  will  make  the  house  look 
wider. 


Well  selected  color  schemes  add  much  to  the  finished  appearance  of  "The 
Home  Beautiful."

INTRODUCTION 


' / ^ HE  desire  to  be  surrounded  with  things  of  beauty  and  substantial  endurance  is  natural 
^ 3 to  all  of  us;  likewise  the  wish  to  keep  that  which  we  own  in  the  best  state  of  repair 
and  appearance.  We  have  a special  opportunity  to  satisfy  these  desires  by  beauti- 
fying and  at  the  same  time  making  more  substantial  our  homes  and  property  by  the  use  of 
decorative  and  protective  coatings. 

As  a property  owner  you  desire  an  attractive  home  which  will  be  an  object  of  beauty  in 
the  community,  and  a source  of  pride  and  joy  to  yourself. 

We  have  tried  in  this  book  to  suggest  as  many  practical  helps  as  possible  in  order  that 
you  may  attain  your  desire  to  make  your  home  "The  Home  Beautiful." 

The  color  combinations  and  suggestions  we  show  are  in  good  taste  and  appropriate  to 
the  surroundings  and  style  of  the  exterior  or  interior  of  the  building,  and  the  materials  spe- 
cified are  the  best  manufactured.  As  these  give  real  satisfaction  and  are  b\  far  the  least 
expensive  in  the  end.  the  property  owner  when  decorating  interiors  and  exteriors  of  his  home 
may  be  safely  guided  accordingly

THE  ECONOMY  OF  GOOD  PAINT 

IF  your  house  is  substantially  built  and  you  use  a good  quality  Paint  for  covering  the 
surlace,  your  property  is  practically  indestructible,  and  with  occasional  attention 
will  last  indefinitely. 

No  other  one  thing  will  protect  your  home  as  will  a good  coat  of  Paint,  properly  applied. 
This  also  applies  to  your  barns  and’  other  out-buildings. 

Not  only  will  the  harmoniously  decorated  home  bring  forth  all  the  natural  beauty  of 
your  location  and  enhance  its  surroundings,  either  rural  or  urban,  but  by  using  quali  y 
Paints  it  also  means  lasting  satisfaction  and  permanent  economy. 

Our  Decorative  Department  is  always  at  your  service,  and  we  will  furnish  suggestion 
showing  the  actual  colors,  upon  receipt  of  your  request. 

If  better  Paints  or  Varnishes  could  be  made,  we  would  make  them.

PROTECT  YOUR  OUT-BUILDINGS 


HEN  decorating  your  residence,  do  not  overlook  the  fact  that  the  out-buildings, 
such  as  barns,  garages,  stables,  sheds,  etc.,  arc  as  much  in  need  of  protection, 
and  generally  more  in  need  of  beautifying,  than  the  average  house. 


As  a rule  the  best  plan  is  to  decorate  all  of  your  out-buildings  with  the  same  combination 
of  colors,  but  on  large  farms  or  estates,  where  the  buildings  are  scattered  and  lar  apart,  different 
combinations  can  well  be  used. 

Darker  colors,  such  as  reds,  greens,  yellows  and  grays  with  white  trim,  are  very  effective 
when  used  for  Barns,  Granaries,  Stables,  etc.  Out-buildings  in  the  open  are  as  a rule  more 
dependent  upon  a color  scheme  for  artistic  effects  than  is  the  home  proper,  which  dependc 
upon  the  natural  surroundings.

INTERIOR  STAINS 

I N the  "HOME  BEAUTIFUL'"  of  today  a large  proportion  of  the  woodwork,  furniture 
and  floors  are  stained  to  suit  the  owner’s  taste,  usually  in  imitation  of  the  more  rare 
and  expensive  woods.  The  use  of  Stains  has  proved  very  satisfactory  on  practically 
every  kind  of  wood  known. 

There  are  several  different  kinds  of  Stains,  namely  Oil  or  Dull  Finish  Stains.  Mission 
Stains  and  Varnish  Stains.  Varnish  Stains,  as  the  name  indicates,  Stain  and  Varnish  the 
surface  in  one  application  and  produce  a high  gloss  finish.  As  a rule  Stains  require  no  special 
undcrcoating,  and  they  may  be  used  over  practically  any  surface  of  a lighter  finish  than  the 
stain  used.  When  Mahogany  or  other  dark  shades  are  to  be  stained  a lighter  color  it  is 
necessary  to  apply  a Ground  Color  as  an  undercoating. 

Stains  provide  a very  effective  means  of  brightening  up  the  interior  woodwork  or  furni- 
ture about  the  home. 

Your  " Home  Beautiful  ' deserves  the  best  of  finishes  for  its  protection.

SELECTION  OF  INTERIOR  SHADES 

OTHING  contributes  quite  so  much  to  the  general  attractiveness  of  a room  as  pleasing 
■ wall  and  ceiling  decoration.  There  is  no  method  of  obtaining  more  pleasing  effects 
J — X for  the  walls  and  ceilings  than  by  the  use  of  a high  grade  Flat  Oil  Paint.  The  soft 
velvety  appearance  of  walls  finished  in  this  manner,  form  a harmonious  background  for  all  the 
furnishings  of  the  room. 

Interior  shades  should  be  chosen  with  care  because  color  has  the  power  to  change  the 
apparent  proportions  and  size  of  a room.  Light,  warm  colors  may  be  satisfactorily  used  on 
walls  and  ceilings  in  rooms  on  the  darker  side  of  the  house;  more  subdued  tints  are  best 
used  where  there  is  considerable  sun  and  light. 

As  a general  rule  dark  colors  make  a room  seem  small  and  light  colors  make  a room 
seem  large.  Red  apparently  contracts  the  dimensions  of  a room.  Blue  and  Yellow  expand 
and  Pink,  Tan  and  Gray  have  an  enlarging  effect  to  a lesser  degree.  From  a psychological 
standpoint  Greens  and  Browns  are  much  more  restful  to  the  eye  than  Reds  or  Yellows. 

Sharp  contrasts  are  usually  avoided  in  "The  Home  Beautiful.  '

TREATMENT  OF  INTERIOR  WALLS 


>•  y*  " HE  modern  Flat  Oil  Finish  is  the  most  practical,  sanitary  and  economical  means 
■ ^ of  decorating  interior  walls  and  ceilings.  A good  Flat  Oil  Paint  forms  a durable 
finish  which  has  the  dull,  velvety  effect  now  so  much  in  demand.  This  dull  finish  is 
very  restful  to  the  eyes  and  shows  neither  gloss  nor  lustre.  The  colors  of  Neu-Tone  Flat 
Wall  Paint  are  permanent  under  all  conditions  as  even  the  most  delicate  tints  will  neither 
fade,  nor  become  dingv. 


From  a sanitary  standpoint  Flat  Wall  Paint  has  no  equal  as  an  interior  finish.  It  does 
away  with  lodging  places  for  germs  or  dirt  which  are  now  so  frequent  where  paper  or  burlap 
is  used.  In  a Flat  Wall  Paint  of  the  highest  grade  there  are  no  objectionable  chemical  mix- 
tures or  poisonous  dry  colors.  Furthermore  there  are  no  white  scratches,  rubbing  off,  or 
flaking  and  powdering;  which  is  often  the  case  when  calcimine  is  used  on  walls  and  ceilings. 
To  these  advantages  of  Neu-Tone  Flat  Wall  Paint  may  be  added  that  of  a very  complete 
selection  of  delicate  shades,  making  it  possible  to  decorate  the  interior  walls  and  ceilings  in 
practically  any  combination  of  colors.

THE  USE  OF  VARNISHES 


VARNISHES  are  used  on  any  wood  as  a transparent  protective  coating  to  retain  the 
natural  color  and  grain  of  the  surface.  The  richness  of  tone  of  any  stained  or  natural 
finish  surface  may  be  greatly  accentuated  by  one  or  two  coats  of  good  Varnish. 

A satisfactory  varnish  must  be  tough  and  strong  enough  to  stand  up  under  continued 
exposure,  and  still  be  elastic  enough  not  to  crack  or  chip  off  under  severe  usage. 

Varnishes  are  made  in  a great  number  of  grades.  The  better  grades  are  composed  largely 
of  natural  gums,  Linseed  Oil  and  Soya  Bean  Oil.  and  the  cheaper  grades  are  made  of  Rosin 
and  Benzine.  It  will  be  apparent  to  the  property  owner  that  care  should  be  taken  to  use 
only  the  best  grades  of  Varnishes,  inasmuch  as  they  will  be  less  expensive  and  far  more  satis- 
factory in  the  long  run.
